[Samba] dsdb_access Access check failed on CN=Configuration

All-

I've got 3 DCs (version 4.9.6-12) that, prior to today, were running without
issue (as best I could tell).

Every night I run a few commands to monitor the status of the DCs/domain. I run:
* dbcheck --cross-ncs
* samba-tool drs kcc <other DCs>
* samba-tool ldapcmp <local DC> <other DCs>
(domain|configuration|schema|dnsdomain|dnsforest)
* samba-tool drs showrepl

These commands are run on each DC and logged.

Since upgrading to this version about a month ago, I have not seen issues since
offsetting the CRONs (offsetting the run times fixed an intermittent error with
the KCC command).

However, this morning, I find that the LDAPCMP command is failing on all 3 DCs.

The error is the same on all DCs and the same for domain, configuration, etc:

 # samba-tool ldapcmp dc5 DC3 DNSFOREST
ERROR(ldb): uncaught exception - LDAP error 32 LDAP_NO_SUCH_OBJECT - 
<dsdb_access: Access check failed on CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=local>

line 972, in run

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/netcmd/ldapcmp.py",
line 115, in find_netbios
    scope=SCOPE_SUBTREE, attrs=["nETBIOSName"])

All the other commands noted above run without issue.

I used "samba-tool visual reps" and found that for some DSAs that,
each DC thinks it has no communication to the others. For example, this is some
of the output from DC3:



RepsFrom objects for CONFIGURATION

As "samba-tool drs showrepl" does not show any errors, I am not sure
if replication is broken or not. But without "samab-tool ldapcmp"
functional, I cannot verify.

Seemingly, no one changed anything on these machines (except I changed logging
levels yesterday and did restart the service).


Anyone have any idea where to start debugging here? My Google-fu failed to find
anything relevant.

The failure is still present -- no change in the output of the command:

I should also mention that replication still appears functional at some level. I
set the uidNumber of an account and then verified that all 3 DCs had that
information via ldapsearch. So something is broken, but I am not sure quite what
or what the impact of it is (besides the failing commands).
